Hi All:
So this week we are reading Hannah Foster's The Coquette (1797)--a major text in the development of the eighteenth-century American novel, with a fascinating back story in print journalism and women's issues. It should make for a charged discussion! Below are two links (downloadable and plain html text) to the short, epistolary novel (my print version marks it at about 172 pages).
Main Text:

Looking forward to seeing you all this Wednesday, June 12th at 4:30 PM in the Pour House on Kirkwood Ave.
Also, this is my (Rachel's) last meeting of the summer, as I'll be off to other eighteenth-century studies abroad. But Kate has agreed to take over the meetings and posts, so hats off to the co-leader and I will miss our discussions! Perhaps we can have a skype reading group date :)
